Is it tru or false

[Priest1254]

Hi,

I received a letter which you can see below. I don't know exactly all of the paypal service (money sending, shipping), that is why I need your help. I'm afraid the guy want to trick with me. Please tell me that the guy told is true or not?

Hello again,i would like to explain everything to you in details, according to the confirmation email you received from PayPal, the payment as already been made and money as been deducted from my PayPal account and it is now confirmed and approved in your pending balance but cannot reflect in your Account presently because the money is placed on hold due to the extra 150,000 HUF added to the payment for security reasons as per Paypal’s policy. All you need to do now to get the money released to your PayPal account is to proceed with the 150,000 HUF  payment Via MoneyGram to the shipping company's address and send the confirmation to PayPal by replying the email confirmation you received for the verification and activation of the full funds of 337,000.00 HUF  to your PayPal account.
I want you to be aware that this transaction cannot be canceled or reversed as it is still on hold.
 
You can locate a moneygram shop at your local post office to make the payment...and send the details back to Paypal once you are done for verification
 
Kindly let me know when the payment will be made and you can also reply the email confirmation you received to confirm the status of the transaction before proceeding with the payment to the shipping company

Waiting for your answer.

Richard

SCAM.

They encourage you to accept a 'direct' Paypal payment and don't quibble on cost.
No funds or activity of the transaction shows in your Paypal account and any emails 'may' go into your junk or spam folders.

They may also say they can't view the item as they are disabled or working abroad etc etc but they will arrange a shipping agent to collect it.

You will get/got a "fake" email that looks as though it is from paypal.....it isn't because they don't actually have a Paypal account and have no intention of paying you.
It will say the buyer has paid ...you won't have been paid.

The 'fake' paypal email will tell you that the buyer has paid for the item + shipping costs but you must send those shipping costs to the courier/ shipping agent via western union, moneygram or walmart etc BEFORE the funds are released to you.
They are not interested in the item, they just want the western union etc funds and you will never see money in your paypal balance.

Paypal NEVER tell you to send an item before the payment is showing in your paypal account.
Paypal do not tell you to send trackable, they advise it for selling protection but it is not compulsory.
Paypal NEVER expect you to use a rival money transfer service eg Moneygram or Western Union etc.
Also their is no seller protection on paypal for any item that is collected by the buyer.

Delete any emails and ignore the scammers.
